Crazy World

I don’t watch free-to-air TV much anymore because everything I watch is from the internet. I watch casual videos on YouTube and TV shows and movies on Quickflix. I do this because I cannot stand free-to-air television, which is polluted by singing contests and real estate renovation shows. But I still watch the news every now and then, and something that has come up recently is the terrorism scare. The government claims to have uncovered and stopped a terrorist plot in Australia whereby terrorists would pick random people from the streets and behead them. Of course, I have no idea whether this is true or not. When the government tells you something, it’s difficult to verify. It may be true. Nevertheless, I just get the feeling that all this seems suspiciously similar to the leadup the invasion of Iraq a few years back when the government kept scaring everyone about WMDs and terrorists hijacking planes. Of course, all this resulted in massive amounts of taxpayers money being funneled into the defence sector. Taxpayers money siphoned off of the defence sector. You then start to wonder who is funding Islamic State. These are Sunni Islam extremists. Surely the money comes from a Sunni area, e.g. Saudi Arabia. But hold on, aren’t the Saudis allies with the Americans. The Saudi Royal Family gives oil to the Americans in return for cash. What if this is just a conspiracy by the Middle Eastern and American elites to simply take money away from their citizens? You get to a point in your life when you look at an injustice and start to blame the victim. If the taxpayer is dumb enough to be led into giving up their money like this, you start to think this is the natural order, that this is how it is supposed to be.
